Politbyuro (Political Bureau) No 33, September 8, 2003

Russians have another television channel, although this time it is aimed at businessmen only. Russia's first business television RBC TV was launched. The bulk of its airtime will be given to news shows to be broadcasted every half-hour around the clock and every day of the week. The news shows will cover economic, financial and political events in Russia and abroad. Among RBC TV's partners are Reuters, APTN, NTV (Germany) and Deutsche Welle. Additionally, RBC TV is going to relay news of international business channels such as CNN and CNBC.
